Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

After spending the past few days in a place that made his bones - if he was going to be sentimental - thrum with a distinct sense of belonging, where the trees were just the right shade of green (again in this hypothetical state of sentimentality) and people seemed to genuinely get any number of things that were rarely gotten around here (even if he had been told, several times, that he was 'a bit posh, aren't you', to the point of annoyance, including one or two spots of combining that word with some rather unflattering language) Fandom seemed a little... stark.

Too restless to hole up in his room, Arthur eventually gave in to the idea that maybe the common room would be slightly less depressing. It was an idea he was swiftly abandoning as he poked at a can of orange juice and eyed the Teevee remote.

Nope. Still not tempted. There was that.

Yeah, Arthur had been in that mess. He had no inclination or intention towards ever heading there before, even if he'd probably been the least emotionally involved out of the lot.

Whatever.

"Leto's not," entirely, "a bad sort," he said, "But God, yes."

"It seems to be for the best," Kate said, chuckling a little. "For everyone. You're vaguely across the hall from me and Bobby now, right?"

[bitchprince]

"325," he said. "You're at...?"

[vanillajello]

"324. It's not exactly opposite yours, but to the left. Or right." Beat. "Down the hall."

[bitchprince]

"Well, you've been a quiet and unobtrusive neighbour so far," he allowed, "Since I wasn't aware of that."

"I spend a lot of time sleeping," she smirked. "But the music can get a little loud sometimes. Feel free to come bitch at me if it gets annoying."

She knew which neighbors she didn't want to piss off.

[bitchprince]

Ah, a girl with a greater survival instinct than Chuck Bass.

"I may take you up on that, if the need strikes," he said, lightly, "But I can otherwise only encourage the sleeping over the rest of it."

"Then I don't think we'll have any major problems. Not that I've had any so far, either," Kate said, finally finished with her first pudding cup and moving on to the second.
